Visited the site again today from the eastern side, there's nothing there. The Warren doesn't show up as a hillfort on any of the local history sites and isn't listed on any hillfort register that I can find. There's only the earthwork on the western side.
The OS map also shows it as an earthwork not a fort so maybe the site admin can amend the site entry.
Regards
